Climbing is not the only extreme sport. There are many of them in fact. Let’s take a look.
| Wingsuit flying Do you ever imagine flying through the sky like a bird? Wingsuit flying is probably the closest you’ll ever get to the experience. Flyers wear a wingsuit.

| Parkour Parkour is a special sport that makes it possible for people to get around cities in a creative way. People jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under obstacles so that they find their way as fast as they can. |
| Surfing In this sport, surfers stand on top of a surfboard and ride across big waves ( 波浪). Surfers need to have excellent balance ( 平衡) and be able to swim in rough waters if they fall off their board. Surfers also learn how to do some special acts such as backflip ( 后 翻 ) and rotations (旋转). |
